Guyana set to earn close to 1 million US dollars per day from profit oil, royalties
Guyanaβs share of oil, including royalty, will amount to 17,100 barrels per day for about the first 5 years of production. This is expected to increase after ExxonMobil and its partners recover their initial investment, which would see the daily revenue of 855,000 US dollars climbing significantly.
The PSA allows for ExxonMobil to utilize a maximum of 75% of production (after royalty is subtracted) as cost oil. What remains is divided 50/50 with Guyana. That 50% profit oil plus the 2% royalty equals 17,100 barrels of oil per day.
Guyana will also be earning revenue from the oil and gas sector through the application of withholding tax, which the country has already started to receive.
These projections are based entirely on the Liza Phase 1 development. Should ExxonMobil advance to Liza Phase 2, revenues will further increase in tandem with increased oil production. OilNOW has reported that ExxonMobil could be looking to embark on Phase 2 as early as 2023.
Experts in the industry are also optimistic that other companies would make sizeable discoveries and embark on their own developments.
Already, sources have confirmed to OilNOW that Tullow Oil and its partner Eco Atlantic are pursuing βsignificant reservoir leadsβ on the Orinduik Block which amount to a potential 1.8 billion barrels of oil.
From all indications, Guyanaβs future as an oil producer looks bright, with exponential economic growth expected over the coming years.
